A Birthday Letter for Your Brother - the Words Behind the Teasing

Start with one real memory only the two of you have, say the thing the jokes usually cover, and end with what you actually wish for him this year. Three honest paragraphs beat a page of formal wishes.

Write it online, pick handwritten (699) or printed (499), add his address and we post it anywhere in India. Choose Scheduled delivery and we time dispatch to land on his birthday; otherwise order 5-6 days ahead.

Yes - we deliver to hostels, PGs, offices and homes across India. Add the full address with room or floor details and his phone number so the courier can reach him.

A letter arriving by post is the surprise that survives distance - no parcel to hide, no plan he can guess. Many people time it with a call on the day so he opens it while you are on the line.

Absolutely, and it usually works better. The strongest sibling letters are mostly teasing with two or three sincere lines near the end - the humour is what makes the sincerity land.

Yes - up to 10 printed photos can be enclosed, at 3x3 inches square or 2.3x3.5 inches. Childhood photos of the two of you are the most common choice for a brother.

Write it the way you two actually talk. We do English, Hindi or Hinglish - the Hinglish version is often the one that sounds unmistakably like you.

A wax seal is 100 (a real pressed flower can be set into the wax at no extra cost), scented paper 50, twine or ribbon 50, and “The P.S.” - one extra line on a separate small card in the same handwriting - 129. Every letter is on 100gsm premium cream paper as standard.
